obama said chill you gonna get me i am speeched. you don't need this anyway, chill with me on the beach. >> i guess nothing rhymes with treasury. because treasury offers and gives licenses for travel, as you know, and the white house has nothing to do with it. cenk: all right now we go to our panel joe williams, fouhy from yahoo news and lee fang from the nation. lee, i saw your tweets earlier today. what's happening here, who's guilty and who's innocent? >> this is silly season. it came out yesterday a california assemblyman politician went on break to cuba, as well. i'm waiting for marco rubio and other florida republicans to ask for an investigation into that trip, as well. this is just, i don't understand the cuba politics. you know these republicans talk a good game about free markets free trade. whatever happened to that? why don't we have normalized relations with cuba. look at vietnam. we have regular trade agreements with that country and look at it it's liberalizing, a strong american ally. we should do the same with cuba.

obama: this was a heinous and cowardly act. and given what we now know about what took place the fbi is investigating it as an act of terrorism. what we don't yet know, however is who carried out this attack or why whether it was planned

man, it looks like to be fair to president obama and joe biden they really wanted this. they tried hard, and they still couldn't get it. >> it was plainly obvious how badly they wanted it. you saw a real attachment to these families by the president. you said it right a moment ago this was, in fact, a filibuster. the cowards on the democratic side and red states who don't hear 90%. mother teresa less popular than background checks. kittens are less popular. hot dogs, apple pie, baseball all less popular. they really blew it in the united states senate today. it's a shameful death. >> cenk: i don't even watch baseball any more. part of the answer is the nra. joe manchin had an a-rating from the nra. i was surprised he went this far. listen to what he said this morning. >> they're telling members that our legislation i quote criticize the private transfer of firearms by honest citizens. this bill does not even touch--it does not even touch it. >> that's just a lie. if they lose credibility they've lost everything in washington. >> cenk: but that's the part that amuses me.

there was a lot of heat taken by the obama administration on that. the person running that part of the program was a republican, and later said he was irate over what had happened because his staff was cut down to one person. whereas the department of homeland security there are 25 people checking for muslim terrorism in the country. if it turns out to be right-wing terrorism, and we only have one person in the country looking out for it in the department of homeland security, is that a significant problem? >> it is a problem. it shows a deficit of intelligence with homeland security on domestic issues. the unfortunate fact of the matter is it's much easier to get people riled up about a terrorist attack from foreigners than it is for us as americans to face the very real problem of violence and domestic terrorism that we have here. again, that's not--we still--we don't know what this is, yet. i think the important thing is that whoever is responsible that we find out who it was, and that there's justice served. you know, unfortunately, in the afterm

the border not secured and obama cannot be trusted period. how about jim demint who helped marco rubio win his seat. he said, quote, after decades of empty promises congress similar similarly lacks credibility to keep its promises. after strategies and plans for enforcement years later he's not buying it, and he's basically saying, vote against this. so let's bring in our conservative expert noah rothman. how is this going on the conservative side? are they going to get another votes to pass it or is it going to be blocked? >> i have no idea what the congress is going to do just yet. we only begun the selling process. i would imagine the gang of eight wants this passed so badly. the republicans want a political victory and democrats want an immigration reform i think it will be passed in congress but i think it will be troubling to pass it by the conservatives to say the least. they have been doing great work by identifying problems that are in this proposal, and a lot of it has to do with the enforcement provisions only being implemented. as
